Why 4S LiPo Batteries Are Ideal for the Havok Racer
The CNHL Havok Racer is designed around a 4S power system, offering an ideal balance between speed, efficiency, and controllability. Compared to lower voltage setups, a quality 4S LiPo delivers stronger acceleration, better vertical performance, and smoother throttle response without overwhelming the airframe.
For pilots who enjoy fast passes, group racing, or repeated hand launches, a well-matched 4S battery ensures consistent power delivery while keeping the aircraft predictable and easy to manage.
Recommended 4S Battery Specifications
- Voltage: 14.8V (4S LiPo)
- Capacity range: 2200mAh – 3000mAh (up to 4000mAh for longer runs)
- Discharge rating: 40C or higher for reliable high-throttle performance
- Connector type: XT60
Choosing the right capacity allows pilots to tune the Havok Racer for either maximum agility or extended flight time, depending on flying style and field conditions.
Flight Style & Battery Selection Tips
Lighter 4S packs around 2200–2500mAh emphasize agility and rapid acceleration, making them ideal for tight racing lines and aggressive aerobatics.
Heavier packs in the 3000–4000mAh range provide longer flight times and improved penetration in windy conditions, while still fitting comfortably within the Havok’s battery bay.
All batteries in this collection are selected to maintain proper CG placement without excessive nose or tail weight adjustments.
Compatibility Reference: Havok Racer Platforms
This battery collection is optimized for the CNHL Havok 1000mm 4S Sport Racer. Due to shared airframe dimensions and similar power system requirements, these batteries are also commonly used by pilots flying the Skynetic Havok Racer.
While branding and color schemes may differ, both platforms rely on comparable 4S voltage, discharge capability, and battery dimensions to achieve stable center of gravity and dependable performance.
If you are upgrading from a Skynetic Havok Racer or replacing existing packs, the batteries listed here offer a proven and practical solution for sport flying and high-speed use.
